cant believe this was still at the old Kings Armory location, under new ownership this was one of the house builds left behind for the new owners, Im a lucky MOFO coming across this one.

this frame was shipped to Kings from Caspian 9-1994, it was a government frame cut to an officers size.
wish i could take better pics:(

Cool gun, I remember a similar one on the cover of Petersens Handguns about 15 years ago
(although I think that one was .45).
Jan Libourel used to do lots of articles showcasing their work.
Nice find.

thanks guys, this one was used in a bunch of there catalogs and also made a debut in a few magazines, not sure which ones. I Have been in and out of that store for the last 18 years and this has been on the display (not for sale) since 1995.

I keep coming back to this again and again. I really love the King's gun works pistols. Classy, functional.

Yes, they are. The name lives on in a retail store under new ownership, but the parts business and gunsmithing efforts are finis.
